A French bedroom style farce, a down-on-their-luck married society couple (Dorian and Warren) persuade an unmarried pair (Valentino and Myers) to take their places at a party while they pretend to be the servants to impress a man of means who may give them money and assistance.

In contrast to the screen persona of "The Great Lover", Valentino's character of Richard Thayer is shy and insecure. For this film, he performed several scenes of physical comedy and pratfalls, including falling from a window into a barrel of water, all of which he relished. He was originally billed in the film as Rodolpho de Valentina.

Subject: Small note :)
Thank you for watching this movie. It was Valentino's second film, I think it's wonderful and he's absolutely charming in it. Fans, try not to swoon at the scene with the pajamas. He looks sharp! It's reported Valentino really had fun making this film because he loved doing comedy, something I wish he'd had the opportunity to do more of during his career, and I hope you all enjoy this film as much as I've enjoyed sharing it with you. Take care! Gen :)

EDIT: Thanks everyone for downloading the movie so quickly, I'm so glad you like it! I posted a few Valentino films and it's encouraging to have them be so warmly received! Thanks again. :)
